The webcam is not detected
Hi
The problem is that when I run jmfinit and it tried to see if there are any webcams, then my logitech quickcam pro 4000 is not found. Actually it seems to see it, but the camera light flashes on and off all the time, and at the same time the face tracing dialog also flashes. It goes on like that for a while until I interrupts it doing CTRL-C. At which point it stops and gives me an error, see below.
From what I can understand, it actually finds it and then it fails to talk to it, but that it very strange since I've seen others here post that they are using their logitech webcams without any problems.
So does anyone have any ideas on how I can move forward, this is so puzzling. So any ideas are welcome.
I have just installed JMF, paths and classpaths are set, and I'm using the windows performance download.
Regards
Tobias

My webcam is not detected on my macbook pro 2010
Hi everyone, my macbook pro doesn't recognize the webcam even in the system. Also I do have the windows7 also on the laptop. I wonder if it is the cause on the problem. Should I delete the windows7. I bought the laptop from my friend and he cannot resolve the problem too. So webcam is not detected at all and is mising in the system. Please advise. Thanks.
> I cant detect a webcam and supposedly theres one built in.
>I have looked in the control panel and hardware device manager but theres nothing there for a webcam.
Hi in some BIOS version there is an additional option to enable the webcam.
Please check the BIOS.
If the BIOS would not provide such option well, in such case I would assume that your webcam module is faulty.
If the webcam module would be OK, then you should see something in the device manager even if the driver/software would not be installed.

Tips for when your webcam is not detected
EDIT: If you have recently upgraded to Windows 8 and are experiencing this issue please read this document.
Here are some tips for resolving a webcam not detected problem. I see this question get asked a lot so here are the steps you should take to resolve the issue.
To begin you should make sure the device is being detected by Windows. The following instructions are for Windows 7, but should be very similar for Windows Vista and Windows 8.
Option 1: Check Device Manager to make sure it is working properly.
Click your Start button, type “Device Manager,” and press Enter.
Once Device Manager loads click “View” and then “Show Hidden Devices.”
Locate the “Imaging Devices” section.
Note whether you see the webcam here.
If the webcam is listed, right click it and verify that it is not “Disabled.”
If webcam is listed and not disabled, move onto Option 2. If the webcam is not listed you will move onto Option 4.
Option 2: Allow Windows to Re-install the device.
While still in Device Manager right click on your webcam and select “Uninstall”
If prompted select “remove driver and driver package.”
Reboot your notebook and allow Windows to attempt to reinstall the webcam.
If Windows detects the webcam verify the functionality of the webcam.
If Windows does not detect the webcam and install it move onto Option 3.
Option 3: Manually install the drivers for your webcam.
Use this website to determine your product/model number.
Visit the HP Support Page and use this product number to visit your product’s specific page.
Go to “Drivers and Software” and locate the driver for your webcam. NOTE: the drivers for the webcam are sometimes bundled with the YouCam software.
Download and install this driver.
Reboot the PC.
Verify functionality.
Option 4: Manually re-detecting the hardware.
Disconnect all external devices.
Shut down the notebook.
Remove the battery and AC power.
Press and hold the power button for 10-15 seconds.
Reinstall the battery and AC power. Then turn the notebook on.
Once Windows is loaded go back to Device Manager.
Selection “Action” and then “Scan for hardware changes.”
If Device Manager detects the hardware allow it to install.
If Device Manager does not detect the hardware see Option 5.
Option 5: System Restore and System Recovery.
This is outlined very well in this document. Note that any data that is not backed up prior to a recovery will be lost.
Options 6: Repair or replacement.
If none of these solutions have worked for you it is likely that you are experiencing a hardware failure. It is possible to replace the webcam or reseat a loose ribbon cable. However, this is one of the more difficult repairs on the notebook. If you would like to attempt this repair you can visit your notebook’s support page and navigate to the “Manuals” section. There is normally a “Maintenance and Service Guide” for the notebooks, this will cover the disassembly of the notebook. You can then use HP Parts Surfer to locate the part for your notebook.
If you do not wish to attempt a repair yourself you can inquire with HP about a repair. For customers in the US/Canada you can call 1-800-474-6836. If you’re not in this region you’ll need to visit HP’s Support Site to get your area’s contact information.

Satellite U400 - the webcam does not work anymore
Hello guys here is my sudden probloema!
About a year ago I purchased a laptop
TOSHIBA - Satellite U400
with s.o. WinVista 32bit and with integrated webcam chicony etc. ....
For a year, everything worked correctly, but for some days now, the webcam does not work anymore.
As soon as I try to open it, a message of management software cam that says "Webcam driver open fail, please restart or computer room"
I tried to do it all: aggioronato and downloaded the drivers from toshiba, uninstalled the program and re installed the webcam ....! updated bios notebook ....! useless!
the strange thing .. well that going into device manager ... the webcam is not there ....! but if the launch seems to open just then check quell caz ... Warning!!
Gan you help me?
GrazieeAre you familiar and comfortable with LINUX LIVE bootable discs to load an alternative operating system with unobtrusive but extensive Toshiba device support so you can determine if your webcam hardware is ruined or if the problem is software and possibly solved reinstalling Windows ?
At this point, you're pondering less time consuming but more expensive choices such as buying another web cam, or another computer and you might be temporarily borrowing someone else's web cam / using a non preferred spare web cam that isn't optimal for your needs.
Continuously downloading software, registry cleaners, and repeatedly reinstalling drivers will eventually ruin your Windows installation and consume more time than you've wasted so far and still doesn't guarantee to fix your malfunction. -
Having problems connecting a late 2011 Macbook Pro 2.2ghz i7 to a Sony KDL-32L5000 using a display miniport to DVI adapter (DVI to VGA cord). The TV is not detecting the macbook. Anyone have this problem?
You really have to mess with the resoluton, espescially the refresh rate, as it varies from projector to projector, monitor to monitor. Even within the same brand! Because so many manufacturers are trying so many different things to become the next cool kid on the block, and the way the formats are being configured that's now part of the game.
That's why so many professionally produced corporate shows hire a dedicated projectionist for the video presentations. Too many bugs in the honey.
Refresh & sesolution are the first things to look at.
Just so you know that colors in PowerPoint PC, and PowerPoint Mac, don't exactly match... go figure.
I forgot to mention another thing, sometimes it's the projector that needs to be tweaked. -

I have had a 3GS for 2+ years. After upgrading to IOS 4 (now 4.3.5) I began having problems. In the past week, my screen went to the itunes logo and USB cable twice -- unprovoked -- just found it sitting there like that! I connected to itunes and it did restore from a backup but it is a major inconvenience. I am also searching for answers, but better back-up regularly!

When I click on some songs in my itunes library it says the file is not detected. If i hook up my ipod will i loose the songs already on it or will it retore the files to itunes?
Before to attach your ipod.... try to find the file where you put your music.... click on that song.... itunes will ask you if you want to locate it.... from there you have to find the song(s) that is one of the folders in your PC.

Dell U2412M as an external display for my MacBook Pro mid 2008, the clarity of fonts are absolutely unimpressive. The settings do not detect the Dell U2412M (which is grayed out), are there any drivers that need to be installed ?
I have posted this annoying Robles to bugreport.apple.com. Hope I can get locution (although Apple normally will not respond):
On a software name Appfresh, it alerted me to update my MBPr 15 inches running latest OSX 10.8.2, with Chinese Word List Update 1.2. When I clicked on Software Pdate, app Store return No update available.
My system have Chinese Word List Update 1.0 installed, and on October 5, 2012, Chinese Word List Update 1.1 was released by Apple, as alerted through AppFresh. However, this update never get updated on m system. I have to manually download chinesewordlistupdate.pkg from reviews.cnet.com/macfixit and install it manually. By doing so, I have Chinese Word List Update 1.1 on my system.
The same problem occurred again today on November 5, 2012, where Chinese Word List Update is released by Apple. again, it fail to update from Software Update menu.
Can you please:
1. Explain why this problem occurred. This is so annoying.
2. Advise me how can I get this Chinese Word List Date to update to version 1.2. Can you please send me the chinesewordlistupdate.pkg for version 1,2 so that I can manually install it on my system?
3. How can I prevent similar problem with he subsequent version?
Why Apple don't make this update standard as other update?
Support please. Thank for response in advance -
I can't get my new 7th gen nano to sync to my exsisting itunes. It keeps saying the ipod is not detected.
If youre like me, I have so many Apple devices, I always move things over manually rather than remember what to sync and what not to sync........ There’s an option to UNCHECK sync on any device if that helps you in ITUNES.
On any device, like your phone, in ITUNES you can check the option for manual vs. automatically sync. -
Hello good evening, I have a MacBook Pro and my problem is that one of the USB ports and the device does not detect this and inactive but can not find how to reactivate.
Help me please! greetings thanks!Do you have the Firefox new tab page but the actual sites are missing, or do you have some other page?
If you have some different page, try the quick fix in Fred McD's reply.
If the sites are missing, did you use the Reset feature? That will clear the storage associated with the new tab page. I'm not sure it's possible to recover from that; you probably need to rebuild your page from scratch as you browse.
For possible future reference, here is how to access the hidden setting for the page to display on new tabs:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter your preferred page:
* ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
* ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
* ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
* ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?
Some gotchas:
''If Firefox won't let you edit this setting:'' you may have something called SearchProtect on your system.
''If Firefox lets you save your change but ignores it:'' one of your extensions may be overriding it. You can review, disable, and/or remove extensions on the add-ons page:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > ''in the left column click'' Extensions
''If the change works during your session, but at the next startup is back to an unwanted page:'' you might have a user.js file in your personal Firefox settings folder (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and remove the file: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
Any luck? -
Iphone 3gs the sim is not detecting n its says no service .. i got it to a repair shop they fixed it i changed the software and now the sim is not detecting it says no service ..... replay please
Take it back to the "repair center" and tell them to either fix or replace it with an unaltered device.
iPhones are not user repairable. Apple does not authorize anyone but Apple to replace iPhones. Apple does not repair iPhones. -

Please helphi Rayman94,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Can you try the following:
- Follow this guide on how to show hidden devices on the device manager. When done, look under Device Manager > Imaging Devices or Other Devices and see if you can now see the camera or an unknown device.
- If you now see the Camera under Imaging Devices but is grayed out, try to right click on it > choose uninstall > delete the device driver then reboot the system. After the reboot, install the Camera Driver (AVC, Bison, Chicony, Lite-on) and observe.
- If you still can't see the Camera under Imaging Devices but you see an Unknown Device, follow this guide on how to identify it. Once identified, navigate to the C:\drivers\Camera Driver (AVC, Bison, Chicony, Lite-on)\HD folder and install the appropriate driver.

Just got one of these webcam instants and the thing is not being detected in any way, shape or form anywhere on my PC or with in the software provided. I have downloaded the appropriate drivers from this site and still no go. So with further investigation I found that some times the bios has something to do with this? Somethng about BIOS not supporting this type of thing or getting a USB HUB with its own power source or something? Does this make sense to anyone? Anyway I have tried everything that I can except the USB hub thing (too much hassell and a buncha B.S.) and updating my bios. Im not down for that unless I absolutly HAVE to. Anyway if anyone can shed any light on this I would greatly appreciate it.
